Two-Speed Motor
The EMX3 can be configured for control of dual speed Dahlander type motors, using a high speed contactor (K1), low speed contactor
(K2) and a star contactor (K3).
NOTE
Pole Amplitude Modulated (PAM) motors alter the speed by effectively changing the stator frequency using external
winding configuration. Soft starters are not suitable for use with this type of two-speed motor.
When the soft starter receives a high speed start signal, it closes the high speed contactor (K1) and star contactor (K3), then controls
the motor according to the primary motor settings.
When the soft starter receives a low speed start signal, it closes the low speed contactor (K2). This closes Input A and the EMX3
controls the motor according to the secondary motor settings.

Parameter settings:
•
Parameter 6A
Input A Function
(terminals C53, C54)
•
Select 'Motor Set Select' - assigns Input A for Motor set selection.
•
Set high speed performance characteristics using the primary motor settings.
•
Set low speed performance characteristics using the secondary motor settings.
•
Parameter 7G
Relay C Function
•
Select 'Trip' - assigns Trip function to Relay Output C
NOTE
If the EMX3 trips on supply frequency (parameter 16F
Frequency
) when the high-speed start signal (9) is removed, modify
the frequency protection settings.
